The Cabbage of Communication

The Cabbage of Communication

Do the full Cabbage and you’ll have excellent communication in your organization:

  • Cascade down from the top – set up a system to do this regularly
  • Accessible – so they can they come to you – open door / friendly / give time when asked
  • Be seen everywhere every day (Management By Walking About)
  • Blog / Newsletter / Put notices up – publish your opinion in a bit of detail, regularly
  • Address the troops once a year, everyone in one big group, on how the company is doing and that the plans are for the coming year
  • Go back to the floor once a year – do a menial (and ideally unpleasant) job, to show willing and to learn / remind yourself what it’s really like.  You’ll be amazed how out of touch you’ve become.
  • Every week: team meetings x2 – one for you and your colleagues run by your boss, and one for the team that reports to you, with you running it.

onwards and upwards!
